Training and Artists Background

I have been weaving since 1987. That was the year I began a full time study in an 18 month long class in fibre design and construction. Our training was under part of the Takitimu Trust creative arts and music umbrella. The course included weaving flax, percentage dying, classing and spinning wool and of course on-loom weaving.

During the 1990's I was living in Coromandel, and it was during this time that I was well involved with the very strongly supported local performing and visual arts movement. This was when I also completed my Certificate in Adult Teaching.

In 2000 I moved to Auckland and opened a Workshop & Gallery, where I set up my loom.

I now live on the Awhitu Peninsula which is situated on the south-west side of the Manukau Harbour.

Alliances

I have been an active member of the N.Z. Tapestry Network participating in several Travelling Suitcase Exhibitions. I have been a member of the N.Z. Professional Weavers Network since 2009, and am a National Tutor for Creative Fibre NZ, offering classes in design, paper-making and tapestry weaving. I have had work shown in the N.Z. Creative Fibre Magazine and the Australian Textile Fibre Magazine. I also gained my Certificate In Adult Teaching in 1999 which was run by well known tutor Penny Brownlee.

I like to show my work bi-annually at community exhibition venues, and have been an invited guest of several group exhibitions and accepted at National Exhibitions many times over the years.
